EDITORS COMMENTS
This antique illustration transports us back to the 16th century, depicting a scene from Apuleius' novel of Cupid and Psyche. In this particular moment, we witness Psyche, radiantly pregnant, receiving a visit from her two sisters. The drawing by Drouot is intricately detailed and framed with classical-inspired decorations. The setting exudes a sense of timeless beauty as it showcases architectural columns and an ornamental garden. The retro-styled image adds an air of nostalgia, reminiscent of Victorian-era artistry. Three females are featured in the picture - Psyche herself standing at the center, exuding ethereal beauty while her two sisters stand beside her. The engraving captures the essence of ancient cultures through its classical style and Latin script text. It tells a story within itself as it portrays the emotional encounter between these three women. The stage set-like composition adds depth to the illustration's narrative quality. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but appreciate its artistic craftsmanship and historical significance. It serves as a window into both past eras - the 16th-century tapestry inspiration behind Drouot's work and our own fascination with antiquity in present times. Overall, this print offers not only aesthetic pleasure but also invites us to delve into centuries-old tales that continue to captivate our imagination today
